Get the cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex mug.Rations can be a alternative way to say “ffs” , “ugh” “wth” etc... instead of actually being rude and swearing etc. There are many more examples of this word in this context but it’s mainly that and also when someone is disgusted or something saying the word “rations” is a quick reaction to something negative. This is also used as a A small portion of anything in this context too it doesn’t even have to be food if it’s just a small charger or something you would say “that’s rations” if you are not happy with something for example having to work over time you would say “how rations” etc etc..
Calling someone a ration may just be a nicer way to call them a twat/idiot or just if you have a habitat of that word and ration isn’t a swear word so you won’t be offending anyone by calling them that.
*THIS IS RATIONS IN A DIFFERENT CONTEXT THIS IS THE SLANG DEFINITION FOR THE WORD RATIONS...I am aware there is the original definition too but this is a a definition of a different way of saying it.

Get the RationalWiki mug.a little nuisance that is probably by definition an 1337 gamer. but if u see a Raton in real life u know that they are small scrawny boys that lack facial hair and range from ages 14-17. Might play video games and do nothing else in life. They may annoy you and when alone they are easy to take down with your fist . however in large groups Ratons can insult u feeling ashamed. beware of sociological torment.
Austin: dude i was playing halo with all these mlg players that were totally owning everyone yet they sound like faggs man. this stupid Raton!!

Austin: damn Ratons!

Get the rational motive mug.The quality of maintaining cognitive thought during the act of having sex. Often times critical thinking in a rational human is dramatically reduced during the act of sex, or actions prior.

We were so passionate for each other that neither of us could stop, luckily we were rationexual enough to remember we still had a Plan B.
In an attempt to get even more comfortable, I rationexually reorganized the covers and pillows on the bed to support her neck and head, and prop my back up. We went at it for another hour.
